With a pickup truck and an RV, they spent a year meandering across the lower 48, learning about American culture with every dirt road, brewery and person they encountered. It was these experiences that inspired Claire Coleman to publish a book called "The Back Of Beyond: A North American Road Trip, Kiwi Style!" not long after. But the inspiration didn't stop there.
